Bad O2 sensor, bad TPS, clean the MAF with approved MAF cleaner. Maybe even remove and clean it up. Any codes showing? Also, what type/brand plugs did you install?

Get a code reader so you can pull any stored codes and watch live data from the sensors while it is running.

Gets a flashing code p0300 until you get past the 40 mile an hr or let off gas then flashing stops.Only code stored p0300 and some times light only comes on for a second and stores no codes and sometimes car will throw no codes at all when it stumbles at 40.

Turbo is the way to go.

If it's only when warm my one guess is that the ignition control module starts to act up once some heat gets into it.
Because you've already replace plugs, wires and coils.

There is either the open/short in the harness to the sensor or the sensor to the harness.
Or the bank 2 sensor is faulty. Those are the most likely causes.
